I am so sorry for your loss. I shall miss seeing Judge Welborn while visiting with my mother at RP. He is now at peace. May you always cherish your memories.

Sincerely,

Some names I recognize (Celia!) and some I don't but would like to thank you all for taking your time to leave comments. Dad touched more lives than I'll ever fully know.

I was lucky to have two great moms. In 1955 dad married Betty Janasik from Leesburg and went on to have me and my sister.

A good friend and honest jurist

Such a fine man who began his life with adversity. And with a will of steel, he overcame. And with Carol Sue, they built a beautiful family and a most productive life in the law. Truly a life well lived.

Carol Sue, Lynn and Clay, you had a great husband and father. So glad our paths crossed many years ago when Lynn was our neighbor.
Our love to all of you,

We are so sorry to learn of Welborn's passing. Welborn and I met while studying at the University of Florida, receiving our law degrees in 1950, and we remained friends throughout our years of active law practice and during his years in politics. My wife and I extend our deepest sympathy to the family.

Sorry to hear about this. Judge Welborn was a great man. Prayers for his family.
